SLOfolks is an all-volunteer non-profit organization
dedicated to bringing live acoustic, traditional music to the Central Coast since 1985.
SLOfolks has brought a variety of musicians to the Central Coast for over thirty years! An amazing run!
Elisabeth and Ted started the list of Past Performers in 2005 when they first created our website. Unfortunately, records of artists prior to 2005 are spotty and inexact.
